CYPF VCS Representatives on Strategic Bodies in the North East
June 2009
As part of its VCS Engage contract the Regional Youth Work Unit undertook to update its data base of VCS Representatives on strategic bodies, principally, Children’s Trust Boards, Children and Young Peoples Strategic Partnership Boards and Local Safeguarding Children Boards. In addition it was felt that it would be useful to undertake a short email survey regarding the role and its challenges. The purposes of the survey were to:
• Provide information regarding the involvement of the sector within strategic developments which could act as a baseline for future development and in particular to the end of year VCS Engage ‘State of the Region’ report.
• Provide a resource to inform the induction and operational orientation of the new VCS Engage Regional Development Manager appointed in July 2009.
